I've been using a Seagate 1000GB SATA hard drive as my Windows XP drive, but one day it suddenly decided to freeze on the booting up screen, right after it gave the 2064MB...OK. It wouldn't respond to trying to get into setup or boot from the CD Drive whenever it was connected.
I've taken it out and put another drive with Windows in and that works fine without freezing the boot-up. I think it's the drive and not the connectors, since I've tried it in an External Enclosure and it doesn't even recognise that there's a drive there. Does anyone know how I might be able to get it working again, or at least recover the data? At the moment, it doesn't even realise that there is a drive there. |

Sounds like the drive is faulty. There are specialist companies whom will dismantle it and replace parts, but it is not cheap. - £500+.
